This book, Hooked on Cats is very detailed. The author has taken great care in explaining preliminary applications as well as specific outlines for creating and completion of rug hooking projects. Knowledge of cats in general is interesting and very explicit. The only dislike I can draw attention to is the lack of more color pictures. However, the drawn and black and white pictures are excellent in detail. I highly recommend this book for any rug hooker interested in hooking a cat.
I love the detail of the cat on the cover so I bought the book. The book is an easy read. A lot of helpful suggestions on picking the color of wool based on the type of cat/breed your hooking and formulas for dyeing cat colors. Helpful info on colors to shade the fur based if the cat is white, black, gray, orange ect. It gives you diagrams with numbers to follow example when to use light, medium and dark colors to hook the flow of the cat fur. It has pictures and patterns in the book too. Great book
About a month ago I purchased Joan Moshimer's Hooked on Cats and am really enjoying it. It has basic information and tips for people with lots of experience. It covers categories such as how to blend colors of wool when making items like cat fur or flowers, so that the colors just seem like a natural change. Tips on dyeing wool were interesting to me too. It is a book you can just read a chapter or two at a time, or read from cover to cover. Honestly, have read nearly all of it, and haven't found anything I disliked. If you are beginning rug hooking, this would be a great first book. It was recommended by one of the members in my group PRHG, so I searched the title and found it on ebay, natch!
This book is wonderful even for the beginner. Detail and instruction are wonderful.easy to follow. great tips on how to make animial eyes so realistic.I would recommend this book highly for any rug hooker or some one that wants to make a beautiful tapestry
I borrowed a friends copy. I liked the way the material was presented. I have not received my book yet, but will use mine for reference on eye color and dying the colors for different cats.
